Louisville Alumni Chapter Kappa Alpha Psi. Opens a Season of Recitals. The Kappa Alpha Psi, a fraternity of university men, organized to inculcate the ideals of achievement through honor and fidelity, and to stimulate the development of the talented young men and women of the race yet unknown to the public, presented its first program of a series of entertainments Friday night, April 15. Quinn Chapel contained a very appreciative audience who were charmed by the easy grace and artistic execution of Claudius L. Forney, a dramatic baritone of rich melody, and Samuel H. Stewart, an instrumentalist of rare merit. The Poet and Peasant, and La Misserarie poured forth from the great pipe organ at Quinn, like the tones resounding through the corridors of a grand English Cathedral. La Campanella and Rhapsodie Hongroise proved Mr. Stewart to be master of the piano in attack here and delicate touch there. Then the rich voice of Mr. Forney was heard with evident satisfaction and pleasure in a series of songs, showing surprising range and sweetness. Th[illegible]ng of the Toreador, from Carmen, [illegible]red with dramatic accompanim[illegible]oved Forney to be an artist of a[illegible] and the frequent and sustain[illegible]hore forced him to gracefully r[illegible]. The g[illegible] versatility of the soloist was show[n?] in the rendition with colorful ex[pre?]ssion of Kimigayo, in Japanese; Elgic in French, Ave Marie in Latin. The audience was kept in fine fettle by the catchy little songs - My Menagerie, Nobdy but You. An Africa Love Son and Under the Roof Where the Laughter Rings. The recital ended with Prologue from Paglacci which brought regret and reluctant retirement. It is hoped that these rare birds may fly to our woods again some day.
